With a new season on the horizon, The18 felt it was appropriate to create Champions League group stage predictions for the 2022-23 season. We’ve already submitted our Champions League predictions for the rest of our league picks such as winner and top scorer. Now it’s time for each group.

The way this prediction worked was we had eleven staffers/experts at The18 predict each group's final standings. The numbers from all eleven staffers were combined to form The18’s Champions League Group Stage prediction.

This article will also include each experts’ individual table along with each club's ceiling, floor and average position according to our experts. Let’s get to that table.
